25 Vegan Easter Recipe Ideas For This Year

Children aren’t the only ones who wait for the Easter Bunny to bring them a basketful of treats — grown-ups look forward to it, too! After all, who doesn’t like all the special candies and desserts that come with Easter? Chocolates, candies, and vegan marshmallows are a few of the all-time favorite goodies for Easter morning. But, let’s not forget about the dessert that follows Easter dinner!

You might think that not eating eggs or dairy would mean that you have to miss out on fantastic Easter desserts, but the good news is, you don’t have to! So, get out your most colorful Easter basket and pack it with these 25 vegan Easter treats that will have you happily hoppin’ down the bunny trail.

Crispy Hash Brown Haystacks

These little haystacks/nests/whatever they look like to you by Minimalist Baker scream rebirth — and breakfast.

Why not get straight to dessert for breakfast with these peanut butter cup pancakes by Minimalist Baker? If these don’t say special occasion, I’m not sure what will.

Asparagus is a spring vegetable that features heavily in Easter dishes, and this Vegan Richa recipe takes the tradition distinctly out of the realm of boring.

If there’s anything better than eating pesto pasta salad on a picnic blanket on the first day of spring, I’d like you to let me know. This Minimalist Baker recipe earns extra spring-spirit points by adding peas to the mix.
